style

In flowers, the part of the carpel bearing the stigma at its tip. In some flowers it is very short or completely lacking, while in others it may be long and slender, positioning the stigma in the most effective place to receive the pollen.

Usually the style withers after fertilization but in certain species, such as rock clematis Clematis verticillaris, it develops into a long feathery plume that aids dispersal of the fruit.
